Relaxation and Energy - How many times have you felt like you can't go on and that if the situation you're in (whether it's physical labor or nervous tension) continues for even another minute, you're going to collapse? Be calm and keep calm, it happens to all of us. All you need to do in order to move on is... stop. Take a break! Whether it's a tea/fruit break, lunch break or a day or a week's vacation. But why does your body and brain need this break? In order to recharge its batteries, clear its accumulated load and start again.
Relaxation is a psychotherapeutic method using conscious relaxation of muscles and nerves. In other times, it meant re-awareness of one's body and senses through a series of exercises (yogaApplied to everyday life, relaxation has multiple benefits: it reduces stress and helps to better manage it, prevents respiratory disordersreduces the frequency of seizures astm, improves quality of sleep and increases self-esteem.
To answer this question, we need to look at the health effects of relaxation.
On a physical level, relaxation leads to muscle relaxation which favors: a slight peripheral vasodilatation, a decrease in lactic acid levels in the blood, regulation of heart rate and blood pressure, balancing the body's vital functions, disconnection of the nervous system and recovery of metabolism.
On a psychological level, relaxation favors the appearance of alpha waves that participate in nervous balance. It helps to release creativity, strengthens memory, increases the capacity to be receptive and to produce ideas and releases mental tension.
There are many ways to relax. And choosing the right one for you depends on your personality, your lifestyle and your passions.
Below is a list of activities that will help you relax and forget all your worries.
A fragrant bath - is perfect on long winter evenings, after a hard day's work and an evening spent with the family, where you've indulged your children and husband. So after you've finished clearing up after dinner, set aside 40 minutes before bedtime to soak in the tub.
Surround yourself with scented candles in your favorite scent and use the shower gel whose scent you like best. As an idea, jasmine and lavender promote relaxation and a nervous disconnect. After your bath, drink a cup of linden tea - this herb also has relaxing effects.
- your daily ritual, whether it's putting make-up on, applying cream on your face or body or manicure, these activities are very relaxing for you, they make you feel good and, being more beautiful and more appreciated, will also increase your self-confidence.
Favorite book or romantic movie - if you watch or read other people's stories, you forget about your own, develop your imagination and physically relax. These activities have a calming and soothing effect on your mind. They also stimulate positive thinking.
Sport - Although it involves physical exertion, any sport is a good way to relax the nerves and eliminate both physical and nervous tension. It's not for nothing that a punching bag was invented for men that can be installed at home. But since you need more gentle relaxation, we recommend swimming, pilates or jogging.
- Just like sport, dancing is a good technique for relieving stress and nervous tension, and music helps us to relax and reduces stress. To enjoy Melotherapy and benefit from its effects, no musical knowledge is necessary. CDs with relaxing music will prove this to you.
A hobby - shopping, cooking, DIY activities, decorating, gardening or taking care of plants, fishing, etc. The idea is to do what you like the most, to relax and immerse yourself in an ideal world, the world of your passions.
With girlfriends - Whether you're chatting, looking at pictures or going for a walk, your girlfriends are a real therapy, and time spent in their company is an excellent way to relax.
If time permits, visit the ultimate home of relaxation: a city spa. You can go alone or with your friends. The watchword here and the philosophy around which this center of relaxation and pampering has been built is RELAX. In a SPA, everything is designed to make you feel good. To get rid of nervous and physical tension. Everything here, from the decor to the flavors of the ingredients used, responds to your body's need. In a spa you have dozens of ways to relax. From the many types of massages to hydrotherapy (jacuzzi, vichy showersice fountains, subacaval showers, Kneipp showers and baths etc.).
Massage, whatever type you opt for, is an excellent method of total relaxation and perhaps the best of all. All you have to do is to abandon yourself in the hands of the therapist who will relax you, modeling your body, for 50-60 minutes.
Rituals are just wonderful for your relaxation. Giving you a package of sensations and pampering that will delight you. For example, the oriental ritual (hammam) consists of four steps: cleaning with black soap (Beldi) from Morocco, gumming with special kassa sleeve, packing with rassoul black clay yes massage with argan oil. The royal ritual in Siam consists of three stages: a Japanese bath with scents and flowers, a glow scrub with papaya and a Balinese massage.
The Maghreb ritual also comprises three stages: a scrub with Beldi black soap, a black clay cream pack and a traditional oriental massage. The Balinese ritual begins with the scrub. This is followed by the sensory bath, Balinese massage and algae packaging. The Polynesian ritual includes scrubbing with fine Bora Bora sand, wrapping with mango butter and massage with tiare, jasmine, ylang-ylang oil etc.
